Kyle/Tess is a conventional couple in Roswell fandom.
Fandom
Kyle/Tess's pairing name is Lamptrimmer, it is from the episode End of the World where Kyle and Tess are flirting and came very close to kissing.[2] Rebounder is another popular name for the pairing due to Tess loving/wanting Max Evans and Kyle previous dating Liz Parker. Various other names were also used however at the beginning due to various Kyle and Tess sites using their own created names (see Alternate Names in profile for more).
Despite it's considered a uncommon pairing, it's one of only semi-canon pairings besides the core three (Max/Liz, Maria/Michael, and Alex/Isabel) considered to be a conventional couple.
